UA Nationals in F5-P, F5-E, F5-M and F5-10 classes took part 25-28 of June in Cherkassy
The weather was mainly sunny. The was light, only at the end of tenrater class there was a moment where changing rig was possible, but main part of competitors didn't change it from A.
The main challenge of these competitions was the weed. It spoiled almost every race. Due to weed races were shifted from Bochka complex to water sport station , but there the weed was also almost at every fin in every race. Competitors went to water to put out the weed at the third mark that was near the shore, but this didn't help a lot and all this situation made competition very unfair. There should not be analitics on these results. They are in main part random.
In all cases, we have what we have and here are the details:
First day, F5-P class - we had first time 2 fleets in our nationals and tried MSS system.
Second day F5-E class. This class with 24 competitors also had 2 fleets for the first time and was managed by MSS system.
Third day, only 2 races of F5-M class were held due to lack of wind
Fourth day - the rest of F5-M class races were held
Results are following:
F5-10 races
We had doubts that we will make all the races needed, however, in the end of the day there was small rage and the wind become strong for some time.
Final teams medal ranking:
1. Cherkassy - 4 gold, 5 silver, 5 bronze
2. Odessa - 2 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze

Marianske Lazne 2016 regatta

3-5 of June Kolin sailing club is organizing in Marianske Lazne an international regatta in two classes.
3.06 races in F5-E/IOM class were held. 11 participants from Czech republic, Austria, Poland and Ukraine took part. Despite small quantity of fleet, its quality was at the high level.
Low tricky wind was not the best for my Fractal2. Despite better speed with new fin, it looses speed quick while turning due to its middle hull shine. With more stable wind conditions, I think it will show better results.
So, final results are as follows:
Congratulation to winners!
Next days - 04 and 05.06 were F5-M class races as 4th stage of Europa Cup 2016.
13 competitors from Czech republic, Austria, Germany, Poland and Ukraine took part.
The wind mainly was very light and tricky. Sometimes it changed to opposite direction and back during one race. My Skalpel performed better from race to race and I was ready for these conditions. However, Pavel Novotny with his fine tuned and swing rigged with sails of walicki size and walicki profiled mast "Little monster" boat was the fastest and won competitions with big handicap.
Martin Kohlicek was also on top during first day and we ended it both with 11 points sharing 2-3 place. Unfortunately, during second day Martin didn't compete as he felt sick. Hope he is better now. Gerald Oberreiter was sailing quite well by winning 2 races and finished 3rd in overall. Manfred Wolfinger AUT 09 and Ales Pokorny CZE 61 made a strong concurrence to leaders almost in every race and finished 5th and 6th accordingly.
Final results:
Congratulation to winners and thanks to all organizers and competitors for fineand friendly event in a beautiful place of Regent Sailing Club near Marianske Lazne!
And the Europa Cup ranking now is looking like this.
